    My small watch cleanout continues with this modest example.

    20161113_003902.jpg

    Case: Approx 32mm across, 34mm with crown.Lug to lug is approximately 40mm. Possibly rose-gold plated; in unpolished condition with some pitting on lugs. The lugs themselves are fixed and are 18mm in width.

    Crown: Is same colour as case so would say it is original.

    Caseback: Stainless steel, with some pitting and dents. Could possibly be cleaned/polished out.

    Dial and glass: Glass has some scratches and a couple of stray hairs stuck from the inside. Dial is in good condition with some small blemishes around the 8 hour marker.

    Movement: The watch is powered by a FHF 150-3 movement. The watch winds and sets hands smoothly. The date function is working well and will slowly change between the hours of 11pm-12am. As always, a service is recommended for the watch to ensure accurate timekeeping for daily wear.

    The watch comes on a new, lizard grain band with gold buckle, and wears quite nicely on my wrist.

    My asking price is $250US including shipping worldwide via PayPal and fees absorbed by me. Tracking will be included; insurance can be added on request. Buyer is responsible for any import duties/VAT. I will only accept returns if the watch is not as described.

    Kind Regards

    Eugene

    Looks more late 1940s/ early 1950s, to me. May I ask how you determined that it is from the 1930s?

    Hi @DirtyDozen12,

    My apologies, I may have been misguided with the information on Ranfft. I have changed the description and title of the ad accordingly.

    That is a fantastic looking watch for a great price.

    All these new guys hoping to find "The catch" on ebay while this is hanging around here from an honest seller.
